I. HISTORY

1. Development

The owner and developer of PhotoRem is Alberto Bulletti. Right now the company is being managed from Italy, but the he also lived in the United States for a few years. Bulletti is a web project manager and also a senior developer for many other companies internationally. He works remotely from Italy, managing the different companies. PhotoRem is a personal project that he created and hand developed. Many people now wonder, why did Bulletti invent the website Photorem? Bulletti a senior web developer who worked in the United States for a Computer Company in medicine for a few years, where he developed the first version of Photorem for medical purposes in an open source website (meaning it was a no-profit website) and after a while he developed the second version of Photorem (still being used for medical purposes) entitled VisualMD. (http://thevisualmd.com/myvisualmd). In the VisualMD version, the system is able to handle hospital files such as MRI, PET, and CT scan; completely from web, without using third party’s software to convert the hospital files. The version "VisualMD" of PhotoRem has been developed for about three years now, taking almost two years to develop, and allows medical professionals to upload, view, and edit hospital files. After VisualMD, about a year ago, Bulletti stated developing PhotoRem. He worked on the project for about a month since his latest version. Making PhotoRem a place for research purposes, to implement the older version and test the new web technologies coming up every day. The idea behind PhotoRem is to allow people to share and manage media files online without using external software like Photoshop or any other editing software to make a presentation. Bulletti was inspired by Windows Paint because of the fact it is easy for most people to understand. Bulletti just went a step further to making it all online, to make it easier to share documents with other people. Bulletti openly admits that Photoshop online was main website he based a model for his website off of, but he says it was a definitely model and not just a copy. He hand built the website with all of his own coding. He also has a different set up for video use on his website.
